A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who has a new prescription for warfarin. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Doubling the dose if a dose is missed can increase the risk of bleeding and is not recommended for warfarin. Instead, the client should take the missed dose as soon as remembered unless it's almost time for the next dose. B. Using an electric razor is recommended to minimize the risk of cuts and bleeding, which is particularly important for clients on anticoagulants like warfarin. C. While increasing fiber intake can be beneficial for overall health, it is not specifically necessary for addressing constipation related to warfarin therapy. D. While mild nosebleeds may occur, they are not typically common during initial treatment. Clients should be informed to report any unusual or severe bleeding.
